Alright for some reason now... my computer refuses to connect to ANY FTP server. It's really making me angry. I help run a few websites and need access to the FTP and HAD access to the FTP servers until about a week ago when I started getting this message...
Connecting to blahblahblah.com
Connected to blahblahblah.com -> IP=**.**.***.** PORT=21
Connection failed (Connection lost)
Delaying for 120 seconds before reconnect attempt #1
And then it just keeps trying to reconnect but is never succesful... at first I thought it was that something wacky had gone on with my firewalls... so I turned one off (Norton) then tried again... nothing. Then I turned off that pesky Windows firewall... still nothing... then I turned them both off... again... nothing. So then I thought... "Hmm... maybe my ISP did something... '" So I called my ISP (Time Warner Cable's RoadRunner).. they said they hadn't done anything... so now it's got me thinking that MAYBE the HOSTS file is somehow blocking something? Or is that not possible? ANy help would be GREATLY appreciated... thanks thanks thanks.
Oh and by the way... I don't think it has anything to do with port 21 because I can't connect to ANY FTP server using ANY port...
